Evening all.

I have kinda have a TV signal now. No bbc 1 or itv 1 or Welsh channels but I was able to watch Challenge before. Nothing much to report except I have washed and dried my hair before too. I might wrap some Christmas presents tonight. Evri came before unexpectedly and I am off to have a coffee.

one_step_closer 08-12-2024 07:21 PM

I'm glad you had a good time and are home now.

I decided to try and eat something more substantial than I have been and browsed Just Eat and found this mad thing that is naan bread (I chose peshwari) with chicken curry and melted cheese. Very good but way too much.

Is the weather still bad with you, Dawn?

not_so_insig 08-12-2024 07:30 PM

Yes Lindsay it's very rough here.

Strangely enough I have bbc 2 but not bbc 1. I have itv now thankfully but not itv Wales. So fingers crossed I will be able to watch the final of I am a celebrity. But most things are on iplayer so I will have to stream the Strictly results.

Cacoethes 08-12-2024 07:41 PM

That does sound lovely lindsay!

Cacoethes 09-12-2024 09:03 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 09-12-2024 12:50 PM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 09-12-2024 01:10 PM

Morning tamo

I'm okish thanks.
Had GP appointment, now waiting for my asda click and collect.

How are you?

one_step_closer 09-12-2024 01:26 PM

Afternoon everyone.

I hope your GP appointment went ok, Beckie. Anything exciting in your Asda order?

How are you, Tamo?

one_step_closer 09-12-2024 01:31 PM

Oh and when you see this, Dawn, thank you for the Christmas card. Yours is on the way.

Cacoethes 09-12-2024 01:52 PM

It wasn't too bad.
Nothing overly exciting!
Just usual dinner stuff.

How are you lindsay?

not_so_insig 09-12-2024 02:40 PM

Hello all. I have no plans for today. My Christmas present to myself arrived today but I haven't opened it. I have no idea what it is as I left it to the owner of the company to choose for me and i deliberately asked for no preview pictures. So it's a complete surprise!

Thanks for telling me that your Christmas card arrived safely Lindsay. Yours went in a new postbox so I wasn't sure about it. If anyone else on this thread wants a card lmk as Lindsay is the only one whose address I have. UK only I am afraid as the last dates for overseas has passed.

tamobhuuta 09-12-2024 07:30 PM

Hi everyone, how are your evenings?

one_step_closer 09-12-2024 07:41 PM

I always stick to the same postbox because I know that one definitely gets collected from.

Soon I'll be putting the TV on.

What are you doing this evening, Tamo?

Is your TV back to normal yet, Dawn?

not_so_insig 09-12-2024 07:55 PM

Nope Lindsay. I have reported it to the council but if it's like last time it will take over a week for them to come out. I have found a way to get bbc 1 Wales but I have no teletext or other Welsh channels. I can't record bbc 1 either. Worried that I will miss Olympia (big horse show) on the telly which is the highlight of my year.

tamobhuuta 09-12-2024 09:21 PM

I hope you get to watch olympia insig.

I'm watching TV too osc.

Cacoethes 10-12-2024 08:45 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 10-12-2024 12:02 PM

Morning, Beckie. How are you today?

Cacoethes 10-12-2024 12:35 PM

Morning!
I am bored.
I've done everything I need to do until late afternoon :(

How are you?

one_step_closer 10-12-2024 12:41 PM

Boredom is not fun. Do you not have any kind of hobby type things you can do at home?

I'm trying to be ok. Got colouring group today so that's good. We're wearing Christmas jumpers today. Mine is a penguin dressed up as Rudolph and then there's a picture of the penguin flashing his bum and it says rude-olph. I've also got a melting snowman one that says I'm having a meltdown. Wondering if my med change will be sorted at the chemist today. Really want to get started now.

Cacoethes 10-12-2024 12:50 PM

It is not!
Not really. I've just been collecting tiktoks for L when she comes home!
I'm cooking dinner tonight but don't need to start that until about 4.
I did all my morning things too early! Plus mopping and putting washing on.

Your Christmas jumpers sound awesome!
Fingers crossed your med change is sorted!

not_so_insig 10-12-2024 12:57 PM

I have had a shower. Bloody alexa decided to wake me up at 8.30 am! Fortunately I managed to get back to sleep.

I have cpn and amazon coming this afternoon. Knowing my luck amazon will come when I am having my depot.

Still no bbc 1 or teletext. Or decent tv signal.

tamobhuuta 10-12-2024 01:09 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope you enjoy your colouring group osc.

How are you getting on with entertaining yourself Cacoethes?

How are you coping without full tv insig??

not_so_insig 10-12-2024 01:13 PM

I am coping quite well tamobhuuta. I realised I don't watch that much bbc and everything I want to watch is on iplayer anyway. The bbc is terrible during the day anyway as its mostly repeats. Or Antiques programmes atm.

Pi.R^2 10-12-2024 01:15 PM

Teletext?? I thought that was phased out years ago!! Count Binface’s manifesto requests its reintroduction!

not_so_insig 10-12-2024 01:59 PM

Well it's the text based information service that most tv have these days. You can access it via pressing the red button on any bbc channel. That's what I mean by teletext Jenna. Though some modern tvs and boxes don't have that facility any more.

I am old enough to remember itv first version called Oracle.

Cacoethes 10-12-2024 02:18 PM

Hi tamo! How are you?

I've just wrapped the remaining presents.
And now I'm bored again XD

Hellooo jenna!

not_so_insig 10-12-2024 02:30 PM

Amazon have arrived. Most things are presents and the only thing that's for me is a dvd set and some Tassimo machine pods. So at least I don't have to worry about amazon coming when i have my cpn.

I will probably wrap my presents today.

tamobhuuta 10-12-2024 02:41 PM

Hi Pi!

I did wrapping yesterday.

Cacoethes 10-12-2024 02:53 PM

L did all my other wrapping, because I am AWFUL at wrapping!
But obviously couldn't get her to wrap her presents!

not_so_insig 10-12-2024 04:13 PM

Had cpn. Talked a lot today.

Now I am watching Santa Claus the movie whilst wrapping presents.

not_so_insig 10-12-2024 05:50 PM

Wrapped my presents for Lorraine and wrote her cards. Now just gotta weigh it and buy the postage online. Will have postman collect it so I don't have to take it to the post office. Plus it's cheaper buying the postage online than at the post office.

one_step_closer 10-12-2024 07:27 PM

Jennnnnnna!

I wrapped all my presents ages ago although I only had to get things for my brother and my friend.

Cacoethes 11-12-2024 08:19 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 11-12-2024 12:51 PM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

one_step_closer 11-12-2024 01:14 PM

Afternoon both, how are you?

tamobhuuta 11-12-2024 02:24 PM

Hi osc, how are you? I'm just having a cup of tea before I go see my CPN.

long road 11-12-2024 03:37 PM

Hey everyone,

Having a bit of a rough time hence not having been around much. Thinking of you all xxx

tamobhuuta 11-12-2024 04:28 PM

Sorry things aren't going great lr.

My CPN had double booked himself so I'm seeing him tomorrow.

one_step_closer 11-12-2024 07:16 PM

Sorry you're having a hard time, Jen. We're here if you need us.

That's a bit annoying, Tamo. At least you don't have to wait ages to see him though.

I just got up to answer the door for a delivery and my MacBook fell off the arm of my couch and onto my toes. Agony!

tamobhuuta 11-12-2024 07:37 PM

Owch!

one_step_closer 11-12-2024 07:51 PM

Yeah they're still sore! My delivery was a boldly claimed 'world's softest plush'. It is quite soft.

tamobhuuta 11-12-2024 08:00 PM

Sounds gorgeous :)

Cacoethes 11-12-2024 08:03 PM

Hey everyone!

Cacoethes 12-12-2024 08:24 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 12-12-2024 10:44 AM

Good morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Edit
I'm at the doctors waiting for an ecg. I brought a book but I'm sleepy!

Cacoethes 12-12-2024 12:03 PM

Morning!
I'm ok thanks.
Got all my morning things done and been into town.
Just in waiting mode to leave for work now!

Hope it goes ok!

tamobhuuta 12-12-2024 12:11 PM

Well done for getting things done, I hope work goes well.

Ecg was fine, I'm just waiting for the doctor to say it's alright now.

Cacoethes 12-12-2024 12:11 PM

Thank you :)

Hopefully all is well!
Anything else planned for today?

tamobhuuta 12-12-2024 12:14 PM

I'm seeing my cpn at 3pm. Feels like a very busy day!

Cacoethes 12-12-2024 12:21 PM

Hope it goes well!
